Chapter 363 Backstage

Although this burst of energy was not as powerful as the clash between Luo Jun and Wu Kong, it was sharper and the angle was extremely tricky, striking the most intense part of their fight. It cleverly separated the two men who were locked in a fierce battle.

Another expert has arrived!

Wu Kong frowned slightly and turned to look. He saw that the newcomer was around thirty years old, holding a sword. He was tall and thin, with an extraordinary bearing. His eyes and brows exuded a sharp aura. Being looked at by him was like being pierced by a sharp sword.

"And who are you?" Wu Kong didn't recognize this guy at all, thinking to himself, "Why have I been running into so many experts these past two days!"

The man bowed respectfully and said, "My name is Duan Feibai!"

"Duan Feibai?" Wu Kong frowned, then snorted, "Never heard of him!"

This time, not only Duan Feibai, but also Luo Jun on the other side was caught off guard.

Among the Martial World practitioners watching from the sidelines, someone shouted, "Duan Feibai is the Sword Saint's top disciple, said to be his most outstanding disciple in recent decades!"

"Disciples of the Sword Saint Sect?" Wu Kong looked at the other party and saw that Duan Feibai was followed by a group of people, each holding a sword. They all seemed to Sword Saint Disciple.

He also knew about the duel between the Sword Saint and the Heaven's Gate Master, so it wasn't surprising that the Sword Saint Sect's disciples were here.

"This is a personal matter between this brother and me. It's not appropriate for the disciples of the Sword Saint Sect to interfere, is it?" Wu Kong sneered.

"I, Duan, disdain to meddle in other people's grudges," Duan Feibai sneered. "But this Brother Luo is my savior. If I stand idly by while my benefactor is in trouble, I fear I would be letting down my master and the Martial World!"

"That's right! We're going to take care of this!" A little girl chimed in behind Duan Feibai. Luo Jun looked up and saw it was that unruly Ying Er! She'd come too?

Before the little girl could finish speaking, Liu Moyean pulled her back and then nodded to Luo Jun from a distance.

That's right. It's a big event for the Master to fight his nemesis, so these important disciples naturally have to be there. Looking at these sword saints, Luo Jun suddenly felt a sense of security, as if he had someone backing him up.

Wu Kong snorted coldly, "Since you're so eager to meddle, don't blame me for being impolite..."

"I'd like to see just how impolite you are!"

At this moment, a slightly languid voice came from another direction. Everyone turned to look and saw another group of white-clad swordsmen approaching. The leader was handsome, holding an iron fan, and had a slight smile on his face. He was truly dashing and debonair.

"Qi Feng is here too?!" Exclamations immediately rang out from the surrounding crowd.

"Qi Feng? Who is that?" Wu Kong's expression was already showing signs of impatience.

"They're disciples of the Heaven's Gate!" The surrounding Martial World practitioners murmured among themselves, "Who would have thought that disciples of the Heaven's Gate and the Sword Saint Sect would run into each other here? Do you think they'll start fighting?"

"Normally, we should be fighting head-on... but now it seems more like we're united against a common enemy?"

As everyone was discussing, Wu Kong turned to Qi Feng and asked, "You want to get involved too?"

Qi Feng flicked his iron fan, flashing a standard smile that revealed eight white teeth, "What a coincidence, this Brother Luo is also my savior. Although my Heaven's Gate and the Sword Saint Sect are not on the same side, here and now, we are on the same side."

"Brother, judging from your skills, you must be no nobody. This Brother Luo is just a junior with shallow cultivation. You're bullying him because you're older, aren't you testing your own limits?"

"His cultivation is still shallow?" Wu Kong sneered. "Look at his aura, how shallow is it?" "Hey, you're just trying to argue with me, aren't you?" Qi Feng flicked his iron fan, his previous composure completely gone, and directly blocked Luo Jun's path, pointing his finger at Wu Kong's nose. "I'm protecting this guy today! If you want to make a move, you'll have to get past me, Qi Feng, first!"

Duan Feibai, standing opposite him, stepped forward and gripped his longsword tightly. "And me, Duan!"

They had all clearly seen Wu Kong's aura just now, and knew that this guy's strength was extraordinary, so none of them dared to be careless.

"Fine!" Wu Kong sneered, his gaze sweeping over Duan Feibai, Qi Feng, and Luo Jun behind them. "The three of you come at me together!"

As he spoke, a dazzling light suddenly rose from his body, and the aura of his qi instantly became more than ten times stronger than before!

"This is..." Duan Feibai and Qi Feng were dumbfounded. So the previous clash was just a test for this guy, and now he's getting serious?

Good heavens, putting everything else aside, just this one move of Qi alone is definitely at the Peak level!

No, this aura is that of a top-tier expert, even among those at the Peak!

When did such a top-tier martial arts master emerge in the Martial World? How come I've never heard of him before?

Although Duan Feibai and Qi Feng are both outstanding young talents, they have not yet reached their Peak Realm. Faced with Wu Kong's imposing aura, they were somewhat unable to withstand it and began to retreat involuntarily.

Even the other disciples of the Heaven's Gate and Sword Saint Sect were unable to withstand this aura and scattered one after another.

However, no one noticed that Luo Jun, standing behind Duan Feibai and Qi Feng, seemed quite composed under such pressure. However, in order to resist Wu Kong's aura, the qi on his body began to compress and condense, revealing the characteristics of Condensed Essence True Qi!

"This is..." Wu Kong noticed this and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Young man, what superb skills! With such abilities, please don't stoop to the level of my good-for-nothing disciple."

The voice wasn't loud, and the tone was very gentle, like an elder chatting with you. But for some reason, everyone present, whether they were Wu Kong, Luo Jun, disciples of the Sword Saint Sect and the Heaven's Gate, or Martial World practitioners watching from the vicinity, could hear it clearly!

Moreover, the moment this voice enters the ear, it exerts an invisible pressure, making one involuntarily want to do as he says and submit to him...

"Master!" Qi Feng's face lit up with joy. "You've arrived!"

Wu Kong frowned slightly. This kid's Master, isn't that the Heaven's Gate Master... Ascension Realm...?

After a moment's consideration, Wu Kong withdrew his imposing aura. "Fine, I'll give the old immortal face today and let's not pursue this matter for now. But..."

As he spoke, Wu Kong's gaze passed over Duan Feibai and Qi Feng, meeting Luo Jun's eyes. "Little... brother, your surname is Luo, right? We'll meet again!"

After saying that, he waved his hands, turned around and left. In a few leaps, he was out of the ancient city and his figure disappeared.

call...

Seeing Wu Kong leave, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, except for Luo Jun, who frowned slightly as he looked in the direction Wu Kong had gone.

His last sentence was clearly loaded with meaning; I could sense that his attitude towards me was different from before... We'll meet again... Just who is this guy?
